TULA, Russia, Sep 21, 2021 – CADSoftTools is glad to announce the release of CAD VCL Multiplatform 15. Beginning from this version, it is compatible with FireMonkey. It means that all applications based on the library can be compiled not only for Windows, but also for Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.
CAD VCL Multiplatform 15 also enables to compile 32- and 64-bit Delphi and C++Builder applications created with Embarcadero RAD Studio 11 Alexandria.
Another big change is that Open Cascade Technology is not used anymore. Version 15 is based on a new 3D kernel developed by CADSoftTools. This makes the company completely independent of any third-party and allows to respond swiftly to customers’ requests.
